THE  SPENCER  COLLECTION 


By  Henry  W.  Kent 

Secretary,    Metropolitan    Museum    of    Art 


'T^HE  Spencer  Collection  of  modern 
-'-  book-bindings  is  now  displayed  at 
the  Central  Building  of  The  New  York 
Public  Library.  It  consists  of  one  hun- 
dred and  seventy-five  titles  (two  hundred 
and  twenty-two  volumes)  by  twenty-eight 
different  binders,  and  illustrated  by  more 
than  two  hundred  artists.  A  descriptive 
catalogue  of  the  books  appears  in  the  fol- 
lowing pages. 

The  donor,  William  Augustus  Spencer, 
was  the  son  of  Lorillard  Spencer,  of  New 
York  City,  and  his  wife,  Sarah  Johnson 
Griswold  of  Lyme,  Conn.  He  was  a  grand- 
son of  Captain  William  Augustus  Spencer 
of  the  United  States  Navy,  and  great- 
grandson  of  Judge  Ambrose  Spencer  of 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of  New 
York. 

Mr.  Spencer  was  born  in  New  York  City, 
and  was  educated  in  Europe,  partly  in 
Geneva.  He  made  his  home  in  Paris, 
frequently  visiting  the  United  States.  He 
began  book  collecting  as  a  diversion,  many 
years  ago,  making  a  specialty  of  modern 
French  bindings  and  illustrated  books. 

On  his  last  visit  to  New  York  he  in- 
spected the  Central  Building  of  The  New 
York  Public  Library,  not  then  entirely 
finished.  He  was  greatly  interested,  and 
declared  his  intention  of  leaving  his  books 
to  the  Library.  Mr.  Spencer  perished  in 
the  sinking  of  the  "Titanic,"  April  15, 
1912. 

Even  a  hasty  glance  at  the  books 
named  in  the  following  pages  will  dis- 
close the  fact  that  nearly  all  are  the  pro- 
duct of  the  latter  half  of  the  nineteenth 
century.  With  few  exceptions,  the  authors, 
the  publishers,  the  printers,  the  engravers, 
and  the  bookbinders  are  all  representative 
of  what  is  modern  in  their  several  spheres. 
Taken  together,  they  present  material  for 
a  study  of  bookmaking  in  France  during  a 
period,  which,  though  short  when  com- 
pared with  its  whole  history,  has  been 
long  enough  to  be  full  of  vital  and  last- 
ing results. 

The  story  of  the  Book,  with  all  of  its 
chapters  on  printing,  illustration,  binding, 
publishing,  and  collecting,  is  one  in  which 
the  French  people  have  had  a  larger  and 
more  important  share  than  any  other;  in- 


deed, they  may  be  said  to  have  made  the 
fields  of  book  collecting  and  binding  their 
own. 

Fine  bookbinding  more  than  anything 
else  depends  upon  patronage  for  its  ex- 
istence. Its  history  is  inseparably  linked 
with  the  social  history  of  the  countries 
where  it  is  practised.  The  covers  of  the 
books  of  French  binders  reflect  in  their 
polished  sides  as  vividly  as  literature  does 
in  its  pages  the  story  of  society  in  France. 
Johannis  Guigard  in  his  "Nouvel  Armoriai 
du  Bibliophile,"  (Paris,  1890)  says:  "The 
love  of  books  has  always  been  the  special 
domain  of  the  kings  of  France;  all  have 
formed  collections  of  considerable  merit 
for  their  times."  We  have  to-day  the 
evidence  of  the  aristocratic  taste  of  a 
long  line  of  kings,  emperors,  and  princes, 
beginning  with  Louis  XII  and  Anne  of 
Brittany,  in  the  bindings  from  the  princely 
libraries  of  Louis  XII,  covered  with  deco- 
ration in  the  fashion  of  the  architectural 
ornament  of  his  time  —  diapers  and  stripes 
of  repeated  forms  interspersed  with  coats- 
of-arms;  of  Francis  I,  with  their  strong 
feeling  for  the  bindings  done  in  Italy,  but 
with  the  king's  crowned  shield  or  cypher; 
of  Henry  II,  reflecting  the  Italian  influ- 
ence also,  but  with  French  innovations; 
of  Francis  II,  with  a  series  of  cyphers  and 
fleurs-de-lis;  of  Charles  IX,  Henry  III, 
Henry  IV,  Louis  XIII,  down  to  the  last 
Emperor,  in  all,  we  may  trace  the  history 
of  book-collecting  in  its  wisdom  and  its 
vagaries. 

That  the  love  of  books  and  their  suitable 
care  were  not  kingly  prerogatives  alone, 
we  learn  from  the  recital  of  the  long  list 
of  distinguished  collectors  whose  names 
add  lustre  to  the  chapter.  Jean  Grolier, 
Viscount  dWguisy  (1479-1565),  Treasurer- 
General  of  the  Duchy  of  Milan,  friend 
of  Francis  I,  and  his  ambassador  to 
Pope  Clement  VII,  Treasurer-General  of 
France,  friend  of  Aldus,  most  lavish  pa- 
tron and  promoter  of  the  art  of  collecting 
and  of  binding  books,  heads  the  list.  To 
him  is  accorded  the  first  place  among  all 
the  names  in  the  history  of  bililiophilism, 
and  to  him,  more  than  to  any  other  one 
person,  we  owe  not  only  the  dignified  posi- 
tion  tliat  book  collecting  occupies  among

the  gentler  arts,  but  also  the  most  impor- 
tant, fundamental  style  in  the  decoration 
of  book  covers.  A  worthy  successor  to 
Grolier  was  the  celebrated  historian  of 
his  times,  Jacques  Auguste  de  Thou,  or 
Thuanus,  as  he  is  more  often  called,  a 
statesman  of  repute  and  a  distinguished 
character.  Coming  upon  the  scene  at  a 
time  when  bookbinding  was  in  the  golden 
age  of  its  development,  he  played  an  im- 
portant part  —  how  important,  the  vol- 
umes of  his  library  show  —  if  not  as  the 
originator  of  a  new  style  of  decoration, 
as  some  writers  would  have  us  think, 
certainly  as  a  lavish  and  discriminating 
patron. 

The  importance  of  the  lay-collector  in 
the  book  arts  is  amply  illustrated  by  these 
two  men,  but  there  were  many  others  of 
their  time  each  distinguished  in  his  way. 
There  was,  for  instance,  Jean  Baptiste  Col- 
bert, the  statesman,  and  minister  of  fi- 
nance, under  Louis  XIV,  an  encourager 
of  commerce  and  the  industries,  and  the 
founder  of  the  Academy  of  Inscriptions. 
Nor  may  we  fail  to  mention  Mazarin,  the 
Italian  and  French  cardinal  and  states- 
man, and  the  founder  of  one  of  the  great 
libraries  of  the  world,  which  bears  his 
name. 

The  lives  of  such  men  as  these,  "stand- 
ard-bearers of  culture  in  the  citizen-army," 
covered  the  period  of  the  French  Renais- 
sance, and,  as  Sidney  Lee  says,  in  his 
"French  Renaissance  in  England,"  "help 
to  indicate  the  alluring  versatility  of  the 
culture"  of  the  period. 

To  what  extent  the  patronage  of  kings, 
princes,  and  the  great  ones  of  the  earth 
is  responsible  for  styles  in  binding  would 
require  nice  discrimination  to  determine, 
because  into  such  a  discussion  must  enter 
the  consideration  of  the  interdependence 
of  the  arts,  great  and  small;  the  subtle  in- 
fluence of  the  grand  styles  of  the  dif- 
ferent periods;  the  question  of  tools  and 
of  materials;  the  economic  and  commer- 
cial conditions  affecting  the  uses  of 
leathers,  papers,  gold;  and  a  knowledge 
of  the  associations  of  binders,  or  guilds, 
with  their  laws,  masters,  and  apprentices. 
The  guilds  cannot  be  overlooked,  not  only 
because  of  their  immediate  influence,  but 
also  because  of  their  later  effects  upon 
styles.  Last,  but  by  no  means  least,  we 
should  be  obliged  to  consider  the  influ- 
ence of  the  individual  binder,  with  his  taste 
and  inventive  faculty. 

The  first  of  the  bindings  made  in  France, 
like  the  products  of  the  other  arts,  show 
the  signs  of  forms  transplanted  from  Italy, 


but  with  certain  changes  in  design  and  in 
handling  of  materials  strongly  tinged  with 
the  individuality  of  the  race,  and  of  the 
royal  and  noble  patrons.  The  unsurpassed 
books  bound  for  Grolier  in  Italy  by  un- 
known workmen,  like  the  first  fruits  of 
Gutenberg's  press,  although  the  genesis 
of  them  all,  are  among  the  most  perfect 
examples  of  the  art  of  book-ornamenta- 
tion ever  produced.  In  their  strongly  de- 
signed and  painted  interlacing  bands,  and 
gold-tooled  arabesques  of  graceful  lines 
and  fleurons,  may  be  found  the  reflection 
of  the  absorbing  interest  felt  by  Venice 
for  the  decoration  of  the  East,  —  es- 
pecially for  the  painted  manuscripts  and 
lacquered  covers  of  the  Persians,  intro- 
duced by  Aldus,  the  Printer,  —  together 
with  the  technique  of  the  goldsmith's  art 
of  her  own  Renaissance.  Thereafter,  little 
influence  from  the  outside  seems  to  have 
affected  the  binders  of  France,  except, 
when,  the  Revolution  having  laid  its  ban 
on  all  symbols  or  tools  suggestive  of  the 
past,  they  turned  to  England  for  help  from 
Roger  Payne  (the  only  great  binder  that 
country  ever  produced),  and  when,  later, 
in  our  own  day,  they  once  more  adopted 
a  style  of  English  manufacture. 

The  effects  of  the  other  arts  upon  bind- 
ing design  are  not  difficult  to  unravel.  To 
the  early  binders  of  the  printed  book  ty- 
pography gave  of  its  ornament  which  it  in 
turn  had  received  from  the  illuminations 
on  the  manuscripts  and  from  the  lovely 
rolls  and  stamps  of  their  pig-skin  covers. 
We  see  in  successive  periods  the  influence 
of  architecture,  of  iron-work,  of  lace-work, 
of  the  Chinese  porcelains  and  stuffs,  of 
Boule's  inlays  in  wood,  brass,  ivory  and 
lacquer,  his  designs  for  his  cabinet-work, 
of  many  things,  monumental,  grave,  and 
dignified,  or,  again,  flippant  and  even  silly. 

During  the  whole  of  the  period  from 
Louis  XII  down  to  the  beginning  of  the 
nineteenth  century,  leather  was  the  ma- 
terial chiefly  used  for  the  bindings  of 
printed  books,  with  ornamentations  in 
gold  stamped  on  with  many  little  tools 
or  rolls  brought  to  a  heat,  or  with  small 
pieces  of  varicolored  leather,  inlaid  to  form 
the  pattern  with  the  gold.  Other  ma- 
terials had  been  used  before  and  our 
binders  could  not  have  been  entirely  ig- 
norant of  them,  —  like  the  ivory  covers  of 
the  Romans,  the  enameled  metal  covers  of 
the  Byzantines,  the  jeweled  gold  and  silver 
covers  of  the  Italians,  the  lacquered  paper 
of  the  Persians,  as  well  as  the  stamped 
pig-skin  and  vellum  of  the  Middle  Ages 
and  the  painted  leather  of  the  Italians.

THE  SPENCER  COLLECTION 


So  early  as  1401,  the  binders  of  books 
were  granted  a  charter  by  Charles  VI  to 
form  a  guild,  which  continued  in  active 
operation  until  1791,  although  the  gilders 
and  forwarders  separated,  the  gilders  to 
form  an  association  of  their  own  in  1686. 
And  even  after  the  disruption  of  guilds, 
the  encouragement  to  the  art  of  binding 
was  continued  by  the  State  after  1798, 
through  what  have  been  called  "Assises 
industrielles"  or  Expositions.  Napoleon 
himself  issued  the  order  for  the  second 
exhibition  in  1801. 

The  first  important  name  in  the  list  of 
French  bookbinders  is  that  of  the  Eves,  — 
Nicolas,  who  was  binder  to  Henry  III; 
Clovis,  binder  to  Henry  IV  and  Louis 
XIII;  and  Robert,  son  and  successor  of 
the  latter.  These  men  appeared  upon  the 
scene  when  the  stj'le  of  binding  had  already 
assumed  racial  characteristics  in  its  natural 
development  from  the  bindings  of  Italy  in- 
troduced by  Grolier,  those  adopted  from 
manuscripts,  and  the  early  books  of  the 
first  French  printers.  Their  names  are 
associated  with  the  intricate  and  graceful 
branches  of  foliage,  spirals,  and  flowers, 
evolved  quite  naturally  from  the  curved 
lines  and  graceful  fleurons  of  the  earlier 
styles,  which  were  interspersed  on  the 
field  in  the  spaces  between  the  interwoven 
curved  and  straight  lines  of  the  bands 
which  now  extended  across  the  cover  forin- 
ing  irregular  shaped  panels.  Such  designs 
are  called  "fanfare."  Many  of  the  most 
beautiful  bindings  of  this  kind  are  said 
to  have  come  from  their  hands,  just  as 
the  duplicating  of  the  design  of  the  front 
on  the  back  cover  and  the  harmonious  de- 
signing of  the  back  of  the  cover  are  as- 
cribed  to   them. 

Another  name  of  importance,  belonging 
to  the  latter  half  of  Louis  XIII's  reign, 
is  that  of  Le  Gascon,  a  binder  about  whom 
almost  nothing  is  known.  To  him  are 
ascribed  bindings  with  designs  based  upon 
the  earlier  forms,  but  executed  with  tools 
having  dotted  outlines,  thus  producing  an 
effect  that  seems  to  show  that  their  orig- 
inator was  strongly  influenced  by  the  laces 
of  the  day  —  and  it  was  the  day  of  wonder- 
ful laces.  The  finest  bindings  of  this  kind 
are  those  in  which  the  field  —  the  spaces 
between  the  bands  —  is  filled  quite  solidly 
with  filmy  patterns,  leaving  the  fillets 
themselves  as  if  in  relief.  It  is  the  custom 
of  writers  on  this  subject  to  call  Le  Gascon 
the  greatest  of  l)indcrs. 

A  large  family  bearing  the  name  of 
Padeloup  became  famous  through  the  ad- 
mirable   work    of   Antoine    Michel    of   the 


name,  w-ho  lived  during  the  first  half  of 
the  eighteenth  century,  and  who,  wnth  the 
Deromes,  may  be  said  to  represent  the 
best  of  the  art  of  binding  in  the  reign  of 
Louis  XIV.  In  Padeloup's  bindings  ap- 
pear a  new  set  of  tools,  quite  different  in 
character  from  those  which  preceded  them. 
A  new  arrangement  of  the  ornament,  of 
the  division  of  the  space  to  be  decorated, 
a  freer  use  of  leathers  and  colors,  and. 
perhaps,  most  noticeable  of  all,  an  entire 
departure  from  the  older  forms  of  bands 
and  fleurons  characterize  his  work.  It  is 
customary  to  recite  at  this  point  a  story  of 
the  appearance  of  a  volume  of  Daphnis 
and  Chloe  by  Longus,  published  in  1718, 
having  on  its  covers  a  diaper  formed  of 
a  mosaic  of  small  pieces  of  varicolored 
leather,  which  marked  an  epoch  in  book- 
binding. These  diaper  patterns  in  mosaic 
were  favorites  of  Padeloup  and  his  fol- 
lowers, many  of  them  recalling  the  de- 
lightful volumes  bound  for  Margaret  of 
Valois  in  which  the  tooled  branches  of 
leaves  divide  the  cover  into  panels,  which 
have  in  their  centres  the  daisy  and  lily  em- 
blems of  this  princess. 

If  Le  Gascon  may  be  called  the  finest 
of  binders,  Padeloup  may  be  safely  char- 
acterized as  the  most  individual.  He  was 
an  innovator,  and  he  is  distinguished  for 
his  departure  from  the  conventional.  Many 
bright-colored  bindings  ascribed  to  him, 
some  bearing  his  name,  with  large  con- 
ventionalized flowers,  leaves,  and  other 
ornaments  suggestive  of  the  study  of  Chi- 
nese porcelain  and  stuffs,  were  as  far  as 
possible  from  what  had  preceded,  and 
furnish  the  excuse  for  much  of  what  has 
been  done  in  the  nineteenth  century. 

While  adhering  to  the  older  styles  in 
the  main,  Jacques  Antoine  Derome,  most 
distinguished  of  a  long  line  of  binders  of 
this  name,  by  his  perfection  of  workman- 
ship, his  adaptation  of  the  lace-like  pat- 
terns of  the  previous  century,  made  heavier 
and  stiffer,  and  by  his  application  of  his 
ornament  as  a  border  to  his  covers,  takes 
rank  among  the  most  important  in  the 
history  of  the  art. 

Alany  other  names  exist,  some  attached 
to  the  bindings  which  their  bearers  exe- 
cuted, but  by  far  the  greater  number  with- 
out such  identification.  Among  them  are 
Badier,  Bradcl,  Boj'er,  Dubuisson,  Duseuil, 
Le  Monnier,  Pique,  and  Ruette,  all  fol- 
lowing the  styles  of  the  times  in  which 
they  lived. 

In  the  reign  of  Louis  XVI.  prettiness 
was  the  key-note  of  the  binder's  art.  ex-

aggeratedly  charming  and  graceful  some- 
times, in  the  hands  of  the  best  men, 
working  in  the  traditions  of  Padeloup  and 
Derome,  but  like  all  of  the  arts  of  the 
period,  rapidly  declining  from  the  begin- 
ning furnished  by  Padeloup's  art.  Inlays 
of  lace,  miniatures,  colored  paper,  and 
tinsel  covered  the  little  almanacs  and  frip- 
pery diaries.  In  a  period  of  decadence, 
these  volumes,  like  the  frivolities  of  the 
last  years  of  the  tottering  monarchy, 
came   to  an   abrupt   end. 

With  the  nineteenth  century  came  the 
rise  and  fall  of  styles  in  quick  succession, 
following  daintily  in  the  footsteps  of  the 
more  serious  realities  of  political  events. 
The  styles  of  the  Empire,  the  Restoration, 
the  Second  Empire,  and  the  Republic 
crowded  close  upon  one  another.  Napo- 
leon's adoption  of  the  classical  style  of' 
decoration  in  his  architecture  and  decora- 
tions, was  followed  by  all  of  the  arts  and 
crafts,  bookbinding  among  them,  and  the 
borders  of  frets,  palmettes,  garlands,  tro- 
phies, and  other  Pompeian  things,  as  trans- 
lated by  the  architects,  Percier  and  Fon- 
taine, found  their  way,  in  the  hands  of 
the  Bozerian  brothers  and  their  followers, 
to  the  covers  of  books.  This  was  done, 
however,  after  a  timid  dallying  with  the 
graceful  dots  and  floral  sprays  of  the  one 
really  great  English  binder,  Roger  Payne, 
whose  designs  proved  then,  as  ever  since, 
tempting,  but  baffling  of  reproduction. 
Most  of  the  bindings  of  the  period  are 
characterized  by  their  straight-grained 
moroccos  and  their  thin  and  careless  tool- 
ing when  compared  with  the  work  of 
Derome  and  of  the  following  decade. 

Under  the  Restoration,  Thouvenin,  Pur- 
gold,  and  Simier  were  the  most  important 
binders.  With  heavier  tools,  more  solid 
gilding,  bastard  fleurons,  the  wheel  and 
heavy  stamps,  they  produced  original  com- 
binations of  some  merit,  in  which  the  pre- 
dominating motives  were  adapted  to  the 
cover  spaces  with  ingenuity.  The  cul- 
mination of  their  style  expressed  itself  in 
architectural  forms,  Gothic  traceries  and 
rose  windows,  "a  la  cathedrale,"  a  sympa- 
thetic expression  of  the  Romantic  litera- 
ture of  the  time. 

There  came,  about  1830,  a  reversion  to 
type,  in  the  hands  of  the  most  impeccable 
of  binders,  Trautz-Bauzonnet,  and  the 
tools  of  the  Eves,  Le  Gascon,  Padeloup, 
and  Derome  once  more  found  their  way 
to  the  covers  of  books  with  a  splendor  of 
the  most  accomplished  tooling,  in  the  rich- 
est gold,  the  most  sumptuous  leathers  and 
doublures     (the     insidcs     of    the    covers) 


which  have  ever  been  seen.  It  was  what 
Marius  Michel  has  called  it,  a  period  of 
"archaeological  zeal."  It  was  a  period  also 
of  a  new  kind  of  collector-patron,  of  the 
societies  which  were  now  formed  to  print 
books,  and  to  collect  them.  There  sprang 
up  a  furore  for  collecting,  for  binding, 
and  especially,  for  the  bindings  of  Trautz, 
prices  of  which  soared  to  fantastic  figures, 
a  furore  which  assumed  such  proportions 
that  it  has  been  characterized  by  the  name 
of  "Trautzology." 

It  was  but  natural  that  an  episode  like 
this  should  come  to  an  end.  The  younger 
men,  from  1870  to  1885,  under  the  influ- 
ence of  the  new  art,  "art  nouveau,"  which 
had  its  inception  in  England,  began  their 
struggle  against  the  "archaeological,"  rais- 
ing the  standard  of  individualism  —  the 
expression  of  themselves  and  of  the  sub- 
ject of  their  books.  Now  for  the  first 
time  was  heard  the  plea  for  the  charac- 
terization of  the  book  in  the  design  of 
its  cover. 

We  have  said  that  fine  bindings  depend 
upon  patronage  for  their  existence.  With 
the  fall  of  the  Empire,  patronage  in  its 
old  sense  died,  but  a  new  kind  arose  with 
the  formation  in  1874  of  an  association 
of  collectors  calling  themselves  "Les  amis 
des  livres,"  who  determined  to  produce 
books  in  which  authors,  artists,  printers, 
and  binders  were  to  collaborate  in  obtain- 
ing harmonious  results. 

Publishers,  also,  like  Conquet,  C.  Levy, 
P.  Dauze,  A.  Ferroud,  Romagnol,  and 
others,  were  quick  to  follow  in  the  new 
development,  associating  with  them  the 
best  artists  and  illustrators  of  the  day, 
like  Felix  Bracquemond,  Adolphe  Lalauze, 
M.    Leloir,   A.    Lepere,   and   many   others. 

With  the  movement,  the  binders  were 
intimately  associated,  and  very  important 
factors  they  were.  Entirely  new  rela- 
tions between  the  contributors  to  the 
production  of  the  book  came  into  exist- 
ence. The  binder  from  being  a  workman, 
became  a  person,  an  "artist;"  he  began 
to  write  books;  to  exhibit  in  salons  of 
his  own;  and,  generall3^  was  one  to  be 
reckoned  with.  The  whole  period  is  dis- 
tinguished by  his  ambition  to  surpass  and 
to  obtain  recognition.  Men  trained  in  the 
rendering  of  the  archaeological  styles,  past- 
masters  in  the  art  of  gilding,  like  those 
whose  works  are  in  the  Spencer  Collec- 
tion, Gruel,  Canape,  Cape,  Chambolle, 
Cuzin,  Lortic,  Mercier,  and  Marius 
Michel,  broke  away  gradually  but  surely 
from  the  traditions,  to  make  and  execute 
their  own   designs.     The   desire   for   har-

THE  SPENCER  COLLECTION 


mony  between  the  cover  and  the  book  ex- 
tended even  to  materials  and  methods  of 
workmanship,  as  for  instance  —  an  ex- 
treme one  —  in  the  "Aurora  Australis"  of 
the  Spencer  Collection,  for  which  the  wood 
of  a  packing  case  which  contained  pro- 
visions for  the  British  Antarctic  expedi- 
tion of  1907,  is  used. 

Mosaics,  in  the  richest  of  leathers, 
crushed  and  plain,  cover  the  sides,  backs, 
and  doublures  of  these  books,  while  the 
richest  of  silks,  satins,  and  other  stuffs 
are  often  added  to  give  greater  luxuriance. 
New  methods  for  the  treatment  of  the 
leather,  unheard  of  before,  are  adopted, 
such  as  modeled  leather  to  produce  the 
effect  of  sculpture  in  relief;  chiseled 
leather,  to  produce  the  effect  of  etching; 
and  material  other  than  leather,  such  as 
porcelains,    metals,    and    enamels. 

Many  of  the  designs  made  under  the 
influence  of  these  new  conditions  are 
varied  and  striking,  having  no  suggestion 
of  anything  which  had  gone  before,  with 
the  possible  exception  of  some  of  Pade- 
loup's  most  extreme  mosaics  in  the 
Chinese  style.  They  range  through  the 
conventionalized  renderings  of  motives, 
the  partly  conventionalized  to  the  natural- 
istic, and  they  embrace  all  forms  of  orna- 
ment, animal,  vegetable,  and  human.  The 
influence  of  the  Japanese  method  of  orna- 
mentation, for  which  a  craze  had  been 
worked  up,  and  the  influence  of  the  pic- 
ture-poster, are  strongly  felt. 

Perhaps  the  most  striking  thing  about 
these  modern  bindings  is  the  large  size 
of  the  lines  with  which  the  design  is  con- 
structed, epecially  when  compared  with 
the  delicacy  of  line  of  the  older  forms  of 
decoration.  This  is  due  to  the  bigness  of 
the  design  itself,  —  large  wreaths  of 
flowers  and  leaves,  large  birds,  or  butter- 
flies, large  pictures  covering  the  whole 
of  the  boards,  and  not  to  any  lack  of  skill 
in  the  rendering  of  this  part  of  the  binder's 
art.  Skill  was  never  more  in  evidence,  it 
had  never  been  called  upon  to  such  an 
extent,  and  technical  difficulties  hardly 
seem  to  exist  except  to  be  played  with. 
Largeness  is  the  keynote  to  the  whole 
movement. 


Of  the  individual  binders,  Marius  Michel 
may  be  said  to  be  the  dominating  spirit,  the 
most  original  and  important  name  today. 
While  master  of  the  older  styles,  there  is 
no  method  of  the  new  styles  that  he  does 
not  essay  with  an  individuality  which  may 
easily  be  distinguished  from  those  of  his 
competitors.  Although  thought  so  revolu- 
tionary at  first,  his  designs  have  come  to 
be  accepted  as  the  best  examples  of  the 
search  for  a  new  style.  In  the  twenty- 
six  books  collected  by  Mr.  Spencer,  the 
range  of  Michel's  work  in  mosaics  is  well 
shown,  especially  his  fondness  for  partly 
conventionalized  flower  motives.  Illus- 
trations of  five  of  his  bindings  are  given 
herewith. 

In  the  twenty-nine  examples  of  fimile 
Mercier's  work  collected  by  Mr.  Spencer 
may  be  seen  the  perfection  of  gilding  by 
this  "impeccable"  master  of  that  art,  one 
who  has  never  advanced  so  far  afield 
from  the  traditions  as  Alichel,  but  whose 
designs  are  always  characterized  by  ele- 
gance and  taste.  One  of  the  illustrations 
herewith  shows  his  binding  for  Gautier's 
"Jean  et  Jeannette." 

Leon  Gruel,  while  not  so  stronglj'  indi- 
vidual in  his  designs  as  Michel,  is  yet  as 
versatile  in  his  methods  of  expressing 
them.  His  chiseled  bindings,  like  the 
"Imitation  of  Christ"  here  shown,  are 
good  examples  of  his  work. 

To  be  convinced  of  the  consummate 
workmanship  of  the  French  binders,  to 
see  the  extent  of  their  manual  dexterity, 
one  has  but  to  examine  the  gilding  and 
the  inlaying  of  these  men,  and  of  Lortic 
and  Joly.  Theirs  is  the  skill  of  the  gold- 
smith and  the  enameler.  Whether  or  not 
the  art  of  their  designs  is  as  great  as  that 
of  the  older  binders,  it  is  idle  to  discuss 
at  this  time.  Decorative  art  is  good  if 
it  serves  its  purpose  well,  is  appropriate, 
and  is  well  done.  It  is  certain,  however, 
that  the  best  of  the  work  of  the  present- 
day  binders,  like  that  shown  in  the  Spen- 
cer Collection,  will  take  its  place  in  the 
history  of  book-binding,  together  with  the 
work  of  the  Eves,  Le  Gascon,  the  Pade- 
loups,  and  the  Deromes.

The  work  consists  of  20  numbered  plates,  the 
title,  the  printer's  mark,  the  publisher's  note,  and 
the  table  of  the  harmonies.  The  former  owner  of 
the  above  copy,  finding  the  size  of  the  book  incon- 
venient (5154  X  37  centimeters),  had  reprinted  the 
title,  the  publisher's  note,  the  account  of  the 
impression,  and  the  table,  and  the  plates  mounted 
on  Japan  paper  (32  3/10  x  25  3/5  centimeters),  so 
as  to  make  the  book  easier  to  handle;  for  this 
reason,  the  leaf  with  the  printer's  mark  is  now
